Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. grapeseed oil or use peanut oil, corn oil Do not use olive oil, smoke point is not high enough
  • 3 c. green onions about 1 inch pieces
  • 2 oz. fresh ginger root if you can't weigh it, the piece will be about the size of the palm of your hand Do NOT use ground ginger, you definitely need fresh for this recipe.
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 T. kosher salt yes, really 1/2 tablespoon
  • 2 t. light soy sauce
  • 2 t. sherry

Instructions
 

  • Chop/pulse green onions in the food processor until they are finely chopped (but not pureed).
  • Place green onions in a large cooking pot (one you might use for spaghetti-you need a big pot so the oil doesn't splatter).
  • Peel and cut ginger root into about 1 inch pieces. Place them in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add them to the pot of onions.  
  • Add garlic and salt.
  • In a separate small pan, heat oil until hot.
  • When the mixture barely begin to smoke, carefully pour the hot oil into the cooking pot with the onion mixture and stand back. The mixture will sizzle and bubble.  Allow to cool slightly, then add sherry and soy sauce. Mixture will keep about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
